| Aaaahhhh................Nothin' like a 3-day weekend after working days on end.  | | |
| Its been so long, I don't know if anyone even comes here to read anymore. Truth is, I'm so tired after work to try and write, and my days off are few. Things are going ok. I'm finally looking for a house. Little did my sister know when she offered me a room for "several months", that she'd be putting up with me for almost a year! But she has been very gracious and staying with her has been fun. I do want my own space, but I also know I'll miss her when I'm gone. Living alone has its benefits, but its not all pleasant, that's for sure. So I'm house-hunting, which is an experience. It goes much too slowly for my taste! I want to find a house today, sign the papers tomorrow and move in by the weekend! lol  I do hope I can find one soon and don't have a lot of hassle though. I'm so not in the mood. Work is work. Some days I like it, other days I wish I were doing something else. Pretty normal, eh? I'm working a later shift now, which is better for me. I hope that someday I can go back to part time, but for now, full time it is. So my life pretty much right now? Work, eat, sleep, repeat, until a day off. Then its look at houses, eat, do errands or chores, eat, sleep.  Right now my laundry is a heap in the corner of my room---and no day off until Thursday! Aaaaah! Oh well. I'm fairly certain life will go on until I can wash clothes---though my employer might have an issue if I show up in my pjs for work because I have no more clean uniforms! lol Later. | | |
| I know its been way too long, but I can't seem to get up the gumption to write here. *sigh* Work is going fine. I'm off orientation already because of my previous experience. Next month they are going to start training me to be in charge already. I was hoping for a bit more time than that, but I guess there is no help for it. I'm getting to know people---coworkers and patients alike---so that helps. I still don't feel like I belong really, but I know that takes time. One really huge good thing though, we were told that the clinic will be opening up evening hours on tues/thurs/sat, so that means that I can work all of my hours on the later shift. I cannot wait for that!!! I am just not a morning person! It works out for me so much better to go in later in the morning and stay through the evening. I think I'll enjoy my job better after that. Soon I'm going to have to find a place of my own to live. I'm still with my sister, and she's been very kind and not said anything about me still being here, but I'm sure she would probably like her extra space back. I'd like to buy something, but the trouble is that real estate right here is expensive. If I moved a bit further away I could get much better prices, but I really don't want to live too far from my sisters or my job.  There are a couple places right down the road from them that would be awesome---if they would just go up for sale! lol So right now I'm keeping my eyes open and praying and hoping for guidance. Later. | | |
| Job is going well. Its somewhat stressful at the moment, but hopefully will get better. It keeps me busy and 10 hr days after being off for 5 months keeps me tired! I am adjusting to an early, early morning schedule vs a nocturnal one. I don't mind it as much as I used to for some reason. Its hard to go to bed so early---unless I'm tired like I've been recently---but getting out of work by 3 or 330 is good. There are pros and cons to each schedule, of course. Anyway, I'm doing ok, getting in the swing of things again. Later. | | |
| Thank you to everyone who keeps stopping by---even when I don't write for weeks at a time. I'm still here. I started my new job on April 2, so I've been busy with that. Its going really well so far. Tiring, but good. I have to adjust to a very early morning schedule, which those of you who know me know is HUGE. I've always been a late night person, so having to be at work at 0430-0600 is a great big change for me! But I'm doing ok. So far I really like the clinic I'm at, the staff and the not-for-profit atmosphere. Hopefully I will feel that same way for as long as I'm there! Its weird to go into this clinic, having the experience that I do in the dialysis field, and yet not know what I'm doing. I look at others doing things that at my other clinic were second nature to me too. And here I'm all thumbs until I learn the new machines and new routine. Its like sitting down to play a game that you play every day and one day someone says to you, "Oh by the way, we changed the rules", and now you're clueless. That's me right now!  But hopefully I'll be able to get up to speed quickly. The rest of my life is going along ok. I still ache for my sweetheart, but that is something I'm just going to have to live with. There will always be an achy sore spot in my heart where he should be. I sure do miss that man.  But I'm doing ok. Like a baby learning to walk, but doing ok. See ya. | | |
